Man that's the dream. If all tech companies could just stop we'd all be happier.

Apple is delaying new features for everyone...new siri anyone?

This just tells me these featuers are anti-user

Less crappy updates and adverts? Thanks God for that.

Knowing what these companies consider "features" these days, I'm glad.

Is it privacy or reliability?

I hope users in the EU will delay bringing money to Apple.

They will never replace my lovely CMF Phone 2.

When I got my original iPhone it wasn't because it has more features than the competition - it was because it had less but better implemented.

Users who want features early already use Android

Are we supposed to shed a tear? The only thing I'm looking for is some alternative to my iPhone, even very basic and very feature-limited, preferably made in the EU, that would let me ditch that last piece of Apple tech I own... while still being able to easily access the banking and security apps I do need.

I'm not sure if they sell it for Canada?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

@Sunshine I believe Murena is the only way to get one in Canada.

@Sunshine not sure, but @e_mydata or @murena should know

I have replacements lined up for when my apple devices kick the bucket.

Linux phones canโ€™t come soon enough!

I am very tempted by a Jolla phone. Years ago I had a Nokia N9, and apparently theyโ€™ve done a good job of keeping the platform alive. It does have a yearly subscription for the OS which is a bit strange, but if it means my phone would last 10 years not 5 then I can get behind that

It's takes a lot of effort to build from scratch, I'm okay with paying the developers to get the ball rolling. Though my biggest critique of Sailfish is that the ui isn't Open-Source. Thankfully we have Nemomobile for that.
